How long has the L2501’s been made?

I recently bought a new L2501HST and see a lot of other folks have done the same thing. After breaking a fan blade I started looking around for an aftermarket fan blade and the places I asked said “No, we don’t have any parts for that model yet”. I don’t know why but I was under the impression it had been around for a few years. Apparently I was mistaken. Anybody know exactly when Kubota started making the L’s (2501, 3301, 3901)?

3 years or so...

My L3200 was at the tail end of the Lxx00 series & I got it 4ish years ago. Most of the chassis on the Lxx01 is the same as Lxx00 series it replaced. Engines are slightly different, mostly emissions stuff & a few minor cosmetic things.

TractorData.com says they started in 2014.

aftermarket places normally don't have much for Kubota, or really most modern equipment for that matter.

"aftermarket places normally don't have much for kubota, or really most modern equipment for that matter."

I'm finding that to be very true. I guess I was lucky with my old M4900. I owned it about 15 years and never had to replace anything except filters and fluids, which could be found at places other than my Kubota dealer.
